Compare and Contrast |
| |
| |
|
To
compare, writers
may use clue words or phrases such
as both,
like,
as,
or also.
To contrast, writers may use clue
words such as yet,
but,
and however
to signal differences. |
|
| |
|
| |
|
When
there are no clue words, ask yourself “How are these
events or things alike? How are they different?” Read
the
paragraph below. Comparisons and contrasts have been
highlighted. |
|
| |
|
| |
|
You
can use a graphic organizer to show how things are
alike and different. |

All plants are
alike in one way. All
plants |
| |
use water,
carbon dioxide, and energy from |
| |
sunlight
to make sugar. Then
the plants use |
| |
some of this
sugar to grow. Some
plants, |
|
| |
such
as sunflowers and pine trees, make seeds. But other plants, |
| |
like
ferns and mosses, do not make seeds. |
|
| |
Apply
It! |
|
| |
When you classify, you show
how things are alike and different. Use a graphic organizer like the
one at the right to show comparisons and contrasts from the article above. |
